*“*I’m so full of hate and pure rage that I’m about to melt on my chair. Holy hell what are you doing to my psyche, Islam?” ‘riikka’ wrote in January 2008. **

National elections will take place in Cambodia this Sunday. Strongman Hun Sen will ‘win’ easily thanks to the banning of the opposition (The Candlelight Party). Hun Sen has effectively been Prime Minister for 38 years and the next term will see his oldest son Hun Manet take over. That transfer of power could well get messy.
Watched it on tv last night. Whatever way the system works, voting finished at 8pm and we knew the results more or less at around 11pm. Nobody really “won”. Looks like it might go back to another election again.
